Hello all,

I recently received a copy of a BMIHT certificate for a BN1 built 8 
September, 1954. One of the foot notes on the certificate specificaly states 
the car was equipped with a "locking peterol cap".
Now in review, this is on a standard BN1 which would have had the usual 
stock filler cap located within the boot compartment. In addition, by the 
design of the rim of the filler neck it would have to be a somewhat 
different design than those fitted to a 6 cylinder model. And as a further 
note, the externally mounted quick fill hinged cap of the S model would be 
another design again.
Therefore there was in fact a locking type of cap fitted to at least a 
number of Hundreds, even though as Josef notes, it may be rather redundant 
if one locks the boot lid anyway.
